Abstract
The application of probability techniques in power system reliability evaluation provides a quantitative measure of generation and transmission adequacy. The assessment of capacity benefits to systems involved in an interconnected pool for various types of interconnection agreement is illustrated in this thesis by a hypothetical example. The utilization of confidence levels on the forced outage parameters is illustrated by actual system data. The application of the conditional probability approach to the evaluation of individual load point reliability
levels in practical networks is investigated using digital load flow techniques. This approach includes the outage states of both generation and transmission facilities and defines a bus failure in terms of a quality: of service criterion.
A quantitative reliability criterion is proposed as a more consistent approach to transmission planning- A digital computer program has been developed which combines the reliability evaluation technique, the planning logic and the costing procedure This program has been applied to a practical network configuration. The technique provides a valuable tool in assessing the costs of different reliability levels associated with alternate planning proposals.
